MANILA, Philippines — Spraying on surfaces or misting of areas with disinfectants in fighting the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) may not kill the virus, and it may also cause harm to

The Department of Health (DOH) on Friday said there is no evidence to support that such practices, whether done indoors or outdoors, kill the new coronavirus that causes the disease.ADVERTISEMENTIt can also cause pathogens to be dispersed during spraying and such practices could also result in skin irritation and inhalation of chemicals.

teta_limcangco DYGalvezINQ How do we kill the virus then? All other countries are doing it pre COVID you travel abroad they spray the cabin before allowing people to get off the plane. This is bad messaging DYGalvezINQ Ok, you guys said its not airborne but accdg to the WHO it may remain floating on air for few hours and you said dont wear face masks made of cloth, it wont protect you at all, but masks are now required to wear. And now this.. OK

DYGalvezINQ Better sur thn sorry.DOH are so convoluted in thr announcements thy really need 2get thr act 2gether.1st, thy said;'only thos who feel sick shud wear masks' thn now 'every1's required 2wear masks' thn now 'misting does not kill the virus?'Peopl spit,step on sputum,crap,etc! WHEW! DYGalvezINQ Bakita ngayon lang sinabi? After all the efforts of the local government officials to disinfect every thing they could think of in order to prevent the spreading of the virus!!! JUSKO! Nakaka-disappoint! Pati ba naman ang balita/update, LATE pa din?

DYGalvezINQ Looks like he is confusing us I think he wants more people infected than saved! DYGalvezINQ So dapat washing of streets? It is being done in other countries. Pano ba dapat? Maybe fire dept. with their fire trucks should help clean the streets? DYGalvezINQ After 3 months, saka niyo sasabihin? Hindi ba ginagawa din naman ito sa ibang mga bansa?

DYGalvezINQ Same as ”don’t wear mask if you're not sick.” Haynaku DOH. DYGalvezINQ Ang tagal na pong ginagawa yan. Bakit po ngayon nyo lang sasabihin? DYGalvezINQ Okay...they should have said so from the start. It's another waste of public money. VicoSotto officialqcmayor inaano mga efforts niyo! DOHgovph why are you always late on your advisories?

DYGalvezINQ Better do something than do nothing.
